Hunt for sniper after three-hour daylight rampage

GARDAÍ are still searching for a sniper who carried out at least 10 shootings in a three-hour spree through Co Cork.

While detectives examining ballistic marks have yet to ascertain the weapon used, they believe it was a high-powered air rifle.

It was also believed the gunman was probably driven by an accomplice in a dark-coloured small car as he targeted cars, houses, a bus and a hotel on a rampage between midday and 4pm last Tuesday.
